Customer: [in the voice of Alaska Thunderfuck] “Hieeee.”
Me: “Hello.”
Customer: “…”
Me: “…”
Customer: “…”
Me: “…”
Customer: “Ugh.” [wheeling around and yelling at someone in the bar] “YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW ME IN HERE SO THAT I DIDN’T LOOK SO STUPID WHEN I SAID HIEEEE.”
I feel bad that the act he’d prepared fell apart so irreparably once under the spotlight, but really, he brought it on himself. This is why we have final dress rehearsals and never work with children or animals, people.
I should also point out that he said, “didn’t look so stupid” versus “didn’t look stupid, period.” Potential inanity is definitely something he’ll want to contemplate prior to the execution of his next guerrilla performance piece.
At least he realized he would, in some measure, look stupid. Some people think that kind of shit is the height of entertainment.
